Hi - I know it's a cheap trick to just resend the same post, but it's
not completely uninteresting and I don't believe I got no replies at
all!
Hi,
I would like to compile only out of date JSP files, the problem is,
unlike java sources, there doesn't seem to a method for determining
what files depend on others, through include directives. However, I
notice that the jsp compiler (we use JRun, not sure if it's specific to
JRun) puts a line like the following in the .java files it generates.
private static final String[] __dependencies__ =
{"/iBox/ContributorsMenu.jsp","/jetweb/util/StandardHeader.jsp","/jetweb
/util/StandardFooter.jsp",null};
Therefore by traversing the entire output, it should be possible to
create a "depends" type task that gets a graph of the dependencies
between jsps, so it would know which files need to be recompiled,
either by parsing the java source or by using BCEL or something to
check the value of that field of the actual class file.
Has anyone done this yet before I try to do it myself, or any hints
where to start first?
cheers, jamie
